Rumour

RUMOR Rumor is a 55 pound, 2 year old Rottie mix and has a temperament similar to a Lab. She was taken into our group one year ago, and has been in my foster home since May. Rumor began as an unfocused, untrained dog, more interested in playing with other dogs than paying attention to humans. Obedience training has worked wonders (as is true for ALL dogs) and she has very different attitude presently. She adores her weekly advanced obedience classes, and her tail wags the entire time. She knows sit, stay, come, down, wait, leave it, heel, stand,and a few others as well. She can catch food dropped from your mouth, which is a nice parlor trick. She seems to have the work ethic of a Border Collie! Rumor is about at the point where she could be in the show ring for novice obedience, and she is FANTASTIC at novice rally obedience. She also likes to jump gates and weave, and might make a nice agility dog. Rumor likes all dogs, but cannot live with cats. She must have a fenced yard (no invisible fences) as she has the stamina of the Energizer Bunny. Due to her exuberance, she should go to a home where the kids are at least 10 years old. I am looking for a working (obedience) home for Rumor. Similar to Border Collies, Rumor needs a job to do to keep focused. If Rumor were to simply be a playmate for a child or another dog, I would imagine she would eventually revert to past behavior and simply do whatever she pleased whenever she wanted! If you enjoy working with dogs as a hobby, and perhaps look towards showing in the ring, Rumor might be the dog for you. Rumor passed her Canine Good Citizen test (CGC) today and we congratulate her!! Please contact Elaine ([email protected] or call 847-940-0499) after filling out an application.
